Favorite Disc Golf Hole: White Park #3

Home Course : White Park

Number of Aces : 1 in 2006

Longest Measured Throw : 400'

Memorable Win:
At my age, with failing memory, probably the most recent one! That would be Augusta Super Tour (2000). It was my second super tour win since turning 50.

Favorite Event
Santa Cruz Master's Cup, Bowling Green Open, Kansas City Wide Open, Bob West Memorial Open, Brent Hambrick Memorial Open, Melbourne Open.

Most memorable event:
2000 Worlds in Ann Arbor because it was my best finish at Worlds (in the open division). It is also memorable because there was great competition and I was able to play with many of the great legends of the sport (and played competitively with them, while having a great time!), and I got a chance to show the disc golf world that older athletes can still be competitive.

Advice:
Try to observe several of the top pros. Play practice rounds with them if possible. Learn some basic techniques the "right" way, then practice a lot.

Goals:
Promote the sport. Maintain world-class ability as long as I can, to find out what the expectancy is for this sport. That is, can an athlete remain competitive in disc golf into is fifties, sixties? Continue to raise the standard of competition.
